The Dreaded Home Inspection

The offer was made, and the contract has been accepted, but a potential deal breaker still lurks- the buyer wants a home inspection.Home inspectors are not the seller’s enemy they are hired just to report on the condition of the home. If the home has been well maintained there shouldn’t be a problem.

Buyers typically request an home inspection to determine any major issues, but many of the home inspectors can pick a home to death.The inspector will examine every inch of thehome prior to closing for defects or imperfections.

Nohome is without imperfections, but if a problem surfaces that is of great concern, it could be costly to the seller or cause the deal to collapse. Many times the buyer and seller work out the details by deciding who will pay for the repairs.

Here are some of the most common defects revealed during the home inspection

If your planning on selling your home, it would benefit you by doing a walk thru and repair most things which could be preformed with little money and not much time. It could be the difference between a happy buyer and a deal going south.
